woodsrider Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Thinking of getting a new bow this year. I almost pulled the trigger last year but couldn’t decide between the Mathews Triax and Bowtech Realm so ended up not getting anything. If the Triax was slightly longer I would have probably gotten one. The really short axle to axle scared me a bit. Well this his year the Vertix appears to be just that, a slightly longer Triax. Going to shoot one today and see how it feels. The other option will be the Bowtech SR6. I’m currently shooting a Bowtech Tribute that I bought in 2006. I have really enjoyed it but just itching for a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsrider Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 Well, shot the Vertix and was disappointed. It was a 70lb bow and the first 1/3rd felt like 80. Very harsh draw cycle till about 1/2 way. Shot a 70lb Bowtech SS right after and it felt like my 60lb Tribute. I was hoping the Vertix would be similar to the Triax but unfortunately it was not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrillVille Cardinal51 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I have a Bear Cruzer that I like a lot. It’s in the cheap end, but it’s the only compound bow I’ve ever really shot. I find it to be pretty comfortable to draw and shoot. I also have a PSE 50 pound recurve, and a Cabela’s Warden 40 pound recurve. The 40 pound recurve is far and away my favorite bow to shoot at the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKYknowitall Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I’ve got a 2014 Bear Attitude. It’s set up at 70 lb draw. I have no issue getting it back and once it’s back it’s comfortable, very forgiving too. Of course, it’s a 4 year old bow so I wouldn’t expect you to run out and get one but I love it.
